I made 500 pages of Egyptian hieroglyphic words and phrases on a new blogger site. The idea is to use Blogger's search. So far it works well. I'm about 1/10 done. These are from Gardiner's first 10 chapters and were drawn in JShesh. I also have hand-drawn words and phrases and several other reliable sources.

and then i found myself asking her to be a guest of the United States.. apparently my folks had smartened up by then and came as if in the nick of time b4 I did anything foolish.It appears JB can do wonders when handled by a beautiful 22 year old Dominican woman.

I travelled to Higuey - where I was baptised and legally registered as a baby, but alas on my own mothers account I was not born there.. If anybody knows where I was borned, she ought to.

According to the catholic church Higuey has one of the earliest catholic gigs going - so on account of that (foggy fact) the Dominicans tax payer built a huge cathedral in the province named after.. tata..La virgen de la altagracia.. (the high grace virgin).. how could I.. a guest here all along.. refuse an invitation? an invitation that my mother miraculously cough up for her unwed, un whatever you call a son that has not given her a grandson... son.

Can I just add that the weather the past couple days here has been stellar? What a fabulous way to spend the night, when the temperature and humidity are just perfect: Sitting by the lake with friends, drinking a pitcher of Wisconsin's finest!

$320 was our entire treasure, and we couldn't afford to take off work for more than 4 days.

KC was supposed to have jazz and ribs. The entire downtown was having some massive renovation that summer and literally blocks and blocks were closed. Hotels closed for a week. That week. Nothing was going on. We were practically the only people in the whole area, far as I could tell.
